Chapter 2366 - 359: Qiao Sang vs Xia Huo (Double-Length)

Chapter 2366: Chapter 359: Qiao Sang vs Xia Huo (Double-Length)

A wave of commotion rose from the audience, with discussions buzzing all around.

"Look quickly! Qiao Sang is matched against Xia Huo!"

"How exciting! Xia Huo just finished dealing with a student from the Imperial Beastmaster Academy last match, and now he’s up against Qiao Sang."

"No way! I don’t want Qiao Sang and Xia Huo to face each other!"

"I was wrong, I originally thought Qiao Sang’s previous bye was a setup, but now it seems it wasn’t at all. If it were, she definitely wouldn’t be facing Xia Huo in this match."

"Is this the battle of destiny? Among the forty remaining contestants, it had to be Qiao Sang and Xia Huo matched against each other."

"I remember in this Master Challenge Tournament, are Xia Huo and Qiao Sang the only students left from Flame Heaven University and Imperial Beastmaster Academy?"

"Yes, and interestingly, Flame Heaven University’s Jerome was defeated by Qiao Sang, and Imperial Beastmaster Academy’s Jules was defeated by Xia Huo."

"I want to see the match between Qiao Sang and Xia Huo, I wonder if we can see it today."

"Ah, Qiao Sang is so unlucky, after a bye in the last round, she has to face Xia Huo right away this round."

"Unlucky? Many people wish for a bye and can’t get it. If she can beat Xia Huo, it just proves she deserved the bye."

"I’m not worried at all, Qiao Sang could wipe out Jerome, even if Xia Huo has five Pet Beasts, he definitely can’t win the match."

"That’s right, Qiao Sang’s Fendiduo could at least deal with two of Xia Huo’s Pet Beasts."

"Xia Huo’s ace seems like it could easily take down two Pet Beasts of the same level too."

"Don’t forget Qiao Sang also has the Nether Ring Monarch."

"I think Xia Huo will definitely win this match. Flame Heaven University has always been a notch above Imperial Beastmaster Academy in Beast Taming battles."

"This time, it’s not certain. Even Flame Heaven University has never had a prodigy like Qiao Sang. I feel like this match will mainly be decided by the order in which the Pet Beasts come out. If Qiao Sang’s Nether Ring Monarch is summoned to battle against Xia Huo’s Huo Xixing, then Qiao Sang is likely to win this match. But if the Nether Ring Monarch faces other Pet Beasts, Xia Huo will most likely win."

"Who says that, I think Qiao Sang’s Fendiduo looks stronger than Xia Huo’s Huo Xixing."

The noisy discussions continued for a long time, and without a doubt, the most talked-about pair of contestants was Qiao Sang and Xia Huo.

Qiao Sang, as a highly popular contestant, had expectations reach unprecedented levels when she had a bye last match, while Xia Huo was the first contestant in the current Master Challenge Tournament to become a top contender for the championship by acquiring five Emperor Level Pet Beasts during the competition.

Moreover, with one being a student from the Imperial Beastmaster Academy and the other from Flame Heaven University, both of whom are their respective school’s only remaining candidates, they undoubtedly became the most anticipated match of the round.

Amid the heated discussions, a time for a pairing of group contestants appeared on the virtual screen.

In the contestant area, Xia Huo quickly fixed his eyes on the line he wanted to see:

[Xia Huo VS Qiao Sang (9:00 PM)]

Nine in the evening... After staring at it for two seconds, Xia Huo got up and left.

Meanwhile, in the VIP room.

"Are we heading back now?" Mikaela asked.

"No need," Qiao Sang said, "I’ve already understood her well enough, I’ll just discuss it with Yaobao here."

During the bye, she had re-examined nearly all the contestants in-depth, especially those with five Emperor Level Pet Beasts.

After a pause, she added with a smile, "Besides, watching the match live might make Yaobao and the others more excited during the battle."

For some Pet Beasts, being too excited in a match is not ideal, as over-excitement could lead to loss of control, making it difficult to calmly judge the situation. But she felt that for Yaobao, Little Treasure Spirit, Qingbao, and Tingbao, excitement would actually be beneficial. If they got excited, their combat power would surely increase.

Yaobao has a natural instinct for combat and won’t rush in blindly.

Little Treasure Spirit knows to avoid risks and won’t act impulsively.

Qingbao has a measured excitement and will just fight with more seriousness.

Tingbao, when excited, might even generate a desire to become stronger, negating the need for Teacher Mikaela to spur it further...

Though she also hoped Lubao and Gangbao could get excited, their personalities probably wouldn’t allow them to...

"Steel Authority."

While thinking, Gangbao called out in her mind.

No, it was quite excited now.

Qiao Sang looked silently at the expressionless Gangbao, thinking, could you at least show a bit of your excited expression?
